That spec isn't directly about signatures, though it has applicability. It's just about normalizing an RDF Dataset so it can be more easily be digitally signed, hashed, compared, etc. This spec depends on RDF Dataset Normalization and is specifically about Linked Data signatures but is very out of date: https://web-payments.org/specs/source/ld-signatures/ There's a short video to go along with the concept here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdUZaYeQblY And another that builds on that regarding the idea of digitally-signed credentials on the Web: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWtOg3vSzxI > > Btw, earlier this year there was some research on naming blank nodes > with some very efficient algorithms on deterministic naming of blank > nodes > > https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2015May/ > > I see you responded to that. Was that relevant? Yes, that paper looked to be very much in line with the algorithm we independently created a while back. In my response below I tried to lay out the similarities: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2015May/0146.html -- Dave Longley CTO Digital Bazaar, Inc. http://digitalbazaar.com
